CA Common Services for z/OS

Relevant CA Common Services for z/OS (CA Common Services) are described as follows:

CAISSF

The CA Standard Security Facility (CAISSF) interfaces with external security systems, such as CA Top Secret, CA ACF2, RACF, and other SAF-compatible products. The SSF interface lets you use any of these security products in both online and batch environments, independent of the CA Ideal code.

During signon, CA Ideal internal security checks to make sure that the user is authorized to access CA Ideal. If external security is used, users must sign onto the security system before signing onto CA Ideal. You can use any CA Ideal signon transaction (standard, express, or transparent) with external security.

For more information about internal and external security, see the “Establishing Signon Processing” chapter.
